Santa Barbara's Only Green Certified Spa: What It Means for You

Proudly Green Certified

Le Rêve is the first and only Green Certified spa in Santa Barbara

 That's been true for years, and it shapes everything from the oils on the massage table to the way we run the laundry.

What does "Green Certified" mean for a spa?

It means an independent third party, not us, reviews our products and practices against set standards for sustainability, energy use, and environmental impact. We don't get to grade our own homework. Plenty of spas call themselves natural or eco-friendly. Green certification is how you tell which ones have actually been checked.

Our environmental work has also been recognized by the U.S. Congress, the California State Senate, the California State Assembly, and Santa Barbara County.

Why it matters when you book a treatment

When you lie down for a massage in Santa Barbara or an organic facial at Le Rêve, everything touching your skin has been chosen for its ingredients first. Organic and natural formulas, no shortcuts. And just a fun fact that Le Reve is run by is a chemist. What this means for you, our guests, is that all products you find on ur shelf or in service are personally held to a cleaner eco-friendly standard. None of it costs you anything on the experience side. The treatments are still indulgent and still therapeutic. You just leave knowing the pampering didn't come at your health's or the planet's expense.

Where is Le Rêve?

We're are conveniently located in beautiful downtown Santa Barbara at 21 W. Gutierrez St.just off from State Street. Le Reve guests come to us from all over the South Coast, including Montecito, Summerland, Goleta, Carpinteria, and Summerland.

Le Reve November Spa Offering

 Treat yourself to this months featured facial at Le Reve Organic Spa & Boutique The Age Defying Facial

 AGE DEFYING FACIAL

This is a results oriented treatment!

Specifically designed to target the signs of aging such as fine lines and discoloration.

This facial comes with an age-defying eye, lip, neck, and decollete treatment.

It also incorporates a a special treatment for your hands and arms.

$135/90 Min

"This is by far my favorite facial offered at Le Reve! Not only does is include an additional eye, lip, and decollete treatment along with one of the industry's best enzymatic peels, but it also incorporates ion therapy. Using this ion therapy in conjunction with our wonderful organic products helps to detoxify as well as  refortify your skin during your facial, rather than afterward. What does this mean for you? Well,  following most facials some will experience a period of breakouts while their skin continues to detoxify or expel impurities. This is a good thing which leads to healthier skin and smaller pores.

However, the breakout that accompanies this process is not always ideal. Ion Therapy help speed this process along during the facial rather than after which means less worry of the short-term break out afterward. In fact, in most cases our clients experience little to no breakout following this facial."

Deep Tissue Massage

Le Reve Deep Tissue Massage

What you should know before booking a deep tissue massage

Deep Tissue massage is designed to relieve severe tension in the muscle and the connective tissue or fascia. This type of massage focuses on the muscles located below the surface of the top muscles. Deep tissue massage is often recommended for individuals who experience consistent pain, are involved in heavy physical activity, such as athletes, and patients who have sustained physical injury. It is also not uncommon for receivers of Deep Tissue Massage to have their pain replaced with a new muscle ache for a day or two.

Deep tissue work varies greatly. What one calls deep tissue another will call light. When receiving deep tissue work it is important to communicate what you are feeling.

How does deep tissue massage work? When there is chronic muscle tension or injury, there are usually adhesions (bands of painful, rigid tissue) in muscles, tendons, and ligaments.
Adhesions can block circulation and cause pain, limited movement, and inflammation. Deep tissue massage works by physically breaking down these adhesion to relieve pain and restore normal movement. To do this, the massage therapist often uses direct deep pressure or friction applied across the grain of the muscles.

Will deep tissue massage hurt? At certain points during the massage, most people find there is usually some discomfort and pain. It is important to tell the massage therapist when things hurt and if any soreness or pain you experience is outside your comfort range.
There is usually some stiffness or pain after a deep tissue massage, but it should subside within a day or so. The massage therapist may recommend applying ice to the area after the massage.

What conditions is deep tissue massage used for? Unlike classic massage therapy, which is used for relaxation, deep tissue massage usually focuses on a specific problem, such as:

• Chronic pain limited mobility
• Recovery from injuries (e.g. whiplash, falls, sports injury)
• Repetitive strain injury, such as carpal tunnel syndrome
• Postural problems
• Osteoarthritis pain
• Fibromyalgia
• Muscle tension or spasm 

According to the August 2005 issue of Consumer Reports magazine, 34,000 people ranked deep tissue massage more effective in relieving osteoarthritis pain than physical therapy, exercise, prescription medications, chiropractic, acupuncture, diet, glucosamine, and over-the-counter drugs. Deep tissue massage also received a top ranking for fibromyalgia pain. People often notice improved range of motion immediately after a deep tissue massage.

I feel so privileged to have such a caring and talented staff at Le Reve. Our Massage Therapist are absolutely exceptional. So whether you are needing a relaxing or a deeper more therapeutic type of massage Le Reve has you covered. Be sure to check out our tweets because every week I tweet a special Spa Offering and you could get a 1 1/2 hour massage for the price of a 1hour.

Experience an amazing Barefoot Massage

Experience Barefoot Massage at Le Reve

Here at Le Reve, we offer many different massages to meet your body's needs. One of our all time favorite massages is the Barefoot Massage.

Barefoot Massage

Also known by many as the "compression cure", in barefoot massage direct pressure is applied to the muscles, to give slow, deep, thorough compressions. A perfect blend of deep tissue therapy and the ultimate in relaxation massage.

This deeper form of bodywork helps to assist with the rest, recovery, and repair of muscle tissue creating a positive structural change in chronic soft tissue damage.

Barefoot massage is an effective bodywork treatment for treating and preventing all types of athletic injuries. Most clients report significant decreases pain with amazing increases in range of motion and athletic performance.While this type of massage is typically requested by athletes or clients with sports or repetitive strain injuries its ability to reduce stiffness and increase flexibility can be beneficial for all.

It is often reported by our clients with repetitive strain injuries that following barefoot massage sessions they experience a greater flexibility than even before they were injured!

"While Barefoot is deeper massage than a typical Deep Tissue session it feels like a Swedish massage with a relaxing stretch that takes you further than you could go on your own"-Bridgette

• Long expansive head to toe strokes stimulate the lymphatic and parasympathetic nervous systems faster, creating a sense of well being, improvement of bodily functions, and homeostatis.
• Typically, just 20 minutes of Barefoot Massage can do what takes an HOUR of Swedish massage to achieve!
• Centripetal and Centrifugal movements in our technique increase circulation bringing more oxygenated blood to the area being treated and help release toxins at a very high rate.
• Long, consistent compression from a well trained foot releases adhesions, trigger points and chronic holding patterns, and encourages your body’s natural healing potential.
• Myofascial stretching with vertebral traction elongate the spine, improving movement and posture while relieving chronic pain and spasm.
• Deep, broad pressure improves flexibility and range of motion.
• Hypertonic muscles soften and lengthen.
• Muscles are flushed with interstitial stasis reduced.
• Stretching muscle fibers increases capillerization.
• Fascia is rejuvenated and enlivened.
• Myofascial pain and secondary autonomic phenomena caused by trigger points is usually eliminated.
